Hand Made Rodo Christmas Cards!

Sorry not posted in a while! We have been busy designing and making Christmas cards!  They've taken lots of time and effort but we are so pleased with what we have created and so are our customers!

We have produced nine different designs, one set of cards has a more traditional feel for those people who like to stay within the boundaries of Christmas! Our other pack has a humorous take on Christmas with illustrated characters including Ralph the Reindeer and Trevor the Turkey!

We hope you like what we have made :) Merry Christmas!

Rodo OUT

Finished Catalogues!!

 After a long few weeks of designing and decision making our Tshirts are finished!! And we're so pleased with the result!!

We decided the best way to show off our designs would be to use a catalogue format. Our catalogue features all forty designs as well as our inspirations and original photography- contact information can be found on the back page.

We felt that the way we bound our book was important for the presentation of our ideas. Originally we were going to staple our book together our use a ring binder, but thinking more into it we believed that sewing would be more appropriate, bringing tools used in fashion and producing a more exclusive and handmade look! We used the pamphlet stitch with black cotton - a simple but nice touch.

It would have been easier to go to the printer.... But we wanted to do it ourselves and feel the full sense of achievement!

Hand in time TOMORROW! Hope the guys like what we have produced.. We will keep you updated!

Topman day 1 and 2 from the other half

Had a very productive day today on the Topman design tee's!

So far we have some very clear ideas that we are definately going to take forward and finalise together. With our theme being based on 'travel', yesterday I looked through all my holiday photos and picked out some interesting ones that will look good on tee's. They are based on Berlin and Egypt.

With Sarah coming up with some good designs using photographs and collages, I have moved away from travel to a more abstract look.

I have been looking at hand drawings/doodles and seeing how they look on different coloured tee's. I am really pleased with the outcomes, more than my photography tee's, and I have had lots of fun doodling!

Myself and Sarah have had a meeting today about the new direction. She liked what was going on on the share screen (thanks skype) and hopefully likes the new ones too! We talked about drawing and how my style is quite quirky and hers is more realistic, so together would be a very interesting mix, which we will see coming together soon! Watch this space! :)
